During the famine, my ancient well connected to modern times

"No matter what happens, I will take full responsibility for it. If necessary, my father can kill his relatives in order to gain the trust of the court."

Liu Bian looked at the eldest son in shock.

"I'm glad you think so, but we're not at the end of the rope yet."

"Father, have you ever thought that if you take action, the imperial court will definitely hate Jiangnan to the bone. At that time, in order to quell the anger of the imperial court, one person will be promoted to take on everything. Father thought he could protect himself, but those aristocratic families ?”

The family will definitely stand up when the time comes and put all the blame on him.

Liu Bian sighed dejectedly, "That can't involve you."

He would rather bear it all by himself than involve his children and grandchildren.

Besides, this matter has not reached the end yet.

He felt that he had a way to escape unscathed.

"Father, if I are responsible for everything, I can give an explanation to the court and my father will not be implicated. My father is still young, so there is no need to worry about our Liu family having no future."

Liu Bian's heart moved shamefully, but he still shook his head, "No, even if it means sacrifice, I will never sacrifice you. Don't worry, our Liu family has been operating in Xuzhou for so many years, and we are not vegetarians."

"Where's the noble family?"

"They won't mess around until I fall. In other words, even if I fall, with what I have in hand, they will definitely take good care of you and the entire Liu family."

The next day, Liu Bian arrived at the inn early.

But it came up empty.

He felt nervous and hurriedly sent people to search for him. Finally, he and two others were found at the site of the explosion.

There were three people following Jiang Qian, four including the driver, but now there were only two people left.

Liu Bian didn't take the coachman seriously, "Go and check where the other person went?"

Sima quickly sent people to investigate, and unexpectedly discovered that Jiang Qian had gotten up at five o'clock in the morning. He first went to the nearby vegetable market and asked several people about the outbreak, and then came to the incident. on site.

Liu Bian didn't expect him to move so quickly.

Two hours have passed since the fifth watch. In these two hours, he can learn a lot of things.

This Jiang Qian was really unexpected.

"Master Jiang got up so early. We have just arrived in Xuzhou. Why don't you take more rest?"

Jiang Qian beat him with a bitter look on his face, not caring about the dust on his body and making himself embarrassed, "It is hard to disobey the emperor's order. There is nothing we can do about it. Mr. Liu got up early enough and had breakfast." ?"

"Ate."

Jiang Qian wiped off the dust on his hands with a smile and smiled softly, "Since everyone has eaten, why don't we go for a walk in the salt field."

Liu Bian was about to think of an excuse to refuse.

Jiang Qian said: "Tomorrow, Yuan Li from the Supervision Department will ask you to send someone to the city gate to meet you early. It's getting late, so let's go to the salt field early."

Liu Bian and the people behind him were startled, Yuan Li was coming?

"He still dares to come?"

Xuzhou Sima's anger couldn't stop coming out. Jiang Qian glanced at him curiously, "How do you say this? This is Master Yuan's first time in Xuzhou."

Sima's face suddenly looked as ugly as if he had eaten a fly.

Yuan Li had been to Jiangnan more than once before and had a lot of conflicts with their people, but he never showed up, but they were sure that Yuan Li had indeed been here.

Although the others were not as direct as Sima, their faces were not very pretty either.

They generally have a bad impression of Yuan Li, and it can even be said that they dislike him very much.

Jiang Qian thought of the information that Yuan Li had returned from his investigation, and silently held some incense for them in his heart.

"It is said that people from the Supervision Department should have been to Xuzhou a long time ago. I wonder if Mr. Liu has dealt with them."

"Not really, but there was someone who was causing trouble in Xuzhou and harassing the people. After we caught him, he claimed to be from the Supervision Department. But when we asked him to produce evidence, he couldn't produce it. In the end, he died inexplicably."

Jiang Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, his lips were red and his teeth were white. "It may be a misunderstanding. People from the Supervision Department only collect intelligence and never take the initiative to cause trouble."

"Of course, I have also heard that I have always respected the Ministry of Supervision for their abilities. If you are really from the Ministry of Supervision, your subordinates will definitely greet you."

"But it seems to me that Mr. Liu is not very welcoming. Could it be that the people in the Supervision Department have done something sinister and are afraid of being found out?"

Facing Jiang Qian's soft knife, Liu Bian's face twitched, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Master Jiang is joking, how could I do something wrong?"

Jiang Qian immediately withdrew his gaze, "It's okay if you don't. I was originally worried that if something was really found out, Mr. Liu would jump over the wall and kill me?"

The expressions of Liu Bian and Sima both changed.

Jiang Qian saw their reactions in his eyes and sneered in his heart.

Jiang Qian became interested in the explosion case as soon as he arrived in Xuzhou. Liu Bian thought he would hold on to the explosion case, but he did not expect that he suddenly caught everyone off guard and wanted to go to the salt field.

There was no preparation at all for the salt field.

Jiang Qian didn't seem to know much. He walked around the salt factory, had a meal, and then followed them back in the afternoon. During this period, he didn't ask any tricky questions, let alone check the salt factory's account books. This was After caring about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the saltworks workers, I asked Xuzhou to appropriately improve the following benefits for the workers.

Liu Bian had the illusion that he was not here to cause trouble, but to help them.

But this is just an illusion.

"Sir, take action. Yuan Li will be here tomorrow. We should get rid of Yuan Li before he arrives."

"Yuan Li is not a fool. With his ability, he will definitely find out. By then, he will be in trouble."

Sima thought for a while, then bit his silver teeth, "Then get rid of them together."

"How to get rid of so many people?"

Sima frowned, this was really a troublesome thing.

Liu Bian suddenly said: "I have thought of an idea. If it is done, we can not only get rid of them, but also make the imperial court suffer a loss."

"Of course you've come up with a good idea."

"An explosion has already occurred in Xuzhou City. If it happens again, no one will doubt us. Even if there is suspicion, there is no evidence."

Sima's eyes lit up, "Your Excellency, you are indeed worthy of having thought of such a good plan. Then we can find an excuse to entertain them and secretly place explosives in the dining area. Then we can find an excuse to leave. This way we can do it Even if the imperial court sends people to investigate, there is nothing we can do."
